did i watch another movie?

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2003)

usually i trust to imdb user's comments, because it reflects what to expect from a movie, what is good about it or what is bad..
but reading all the positive comments about this movie?? i don't know, maybe this movie didn't work for me, although the idea is good and has great potential, it has no originality, no characters, even no straight plot and worst of all turns to a second class action movie after some point. it may even be one of the worst spent - but potentially good- film since years.

imho, it's exaggerating to think "this movie wanted to tell this & that, wow look at the philosophy it has etc". this movie didn't seem trying to tell smth to me. well, as i said maybe our chemistry didn't match.

trainspotting was really great. the beach sucked. now it's unfortunately 1+ to 2- for Danny Boyle.
